I'd love it if people took a photo of the book arriving.
With enough photos , I could put together a gallery of Haskell around
the world :-)
Here's my copy arriving last night,
http://www.realworldhaskell.org/blog/2008/11/25/real-world-haskell-is-shipping/
And Dino's digital version,
http://galois.com/~dons/images/20081121_dm_838.jpg
Drop me a line with a photo of yours arriving, and your location, and
I'll add it to the gallery.
Cheers,
Don
